HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
We are having a lovely little party.... I made a hoard of horderves for dinner - we had dogs in croissant rolls, hot crab dip w/triskets, chips and dip, breaded mushrooms, mozz sticks and onion rings... I got us party hats, blower horn thingies, confetti and a little bottle of champagne.... Mom is snoozing on the couch, Ethen is sleeping, the boys are running wild in the hall and I am struggling to stay awake... We just have to last 2 more hours - just 2 more hours... at 10:30 we will raise a ruckus along w/my fellow Newfoundlanders and then it's off to bed.... Real party animals aren't we???
E gave me a major rash of shit today... The boys lost the Xbox cause they almost broke a toy of Ethen's, E tried to tell me they were NOT grounded from the Xbox and he was coming to get them cause I was being mean and rude to them... EXCUSE ME??? YOU have NO RIGHT to tell me how to discipline the boys and you most certainly do NOT have any control over the Xbox - you bought them an extra controller and memory card today that's YOUR problem buddy - no one asked you to!!!! THEN he asked again if I wanted to go out tonight with him.... Man what fucking world does he live on??? I want tickets to that show for sure!!! The asshat really boils my blood some days but my new resolve for the new year is to just let it flow over me.... He gave me crap the other day too - the boys weren't feeling well on Monday, Wednesday they had school friends over - they have been asking for weeks now... He was pissed I didn't give him first crack at them if they were better and threatened to come get them even if they did have company... Then he went on about some vacation/visitation crap - yes you have liberal visitation but it's also supposed to be REASONABLE - last minute just to piss me off is NOT reasonable you asshat!!! Then he had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to go out with him tonight..... Tonight's conversation ended with me telling him to stop calling ME and harrassing ME - he was free to call the boys but not me.... He made some comment about stopping him - he could call ME all he wanted.... I told him if I had to I would get a restraining order if I had to... His adult reply - "Then I will never see the children again" and he hung up.... I am assuming he passed out cause he hasn't called back thank god!!!
The boys and I are going to work on being a better, calmer family unit and do more fun things together and be more organized in general... I need to work on a chore and reward system for them.....
For now I will nurse my Jack and Coke and veg in front of the tv..... Out with the bad and in with the better!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Til next time...
